Chosen Sequence

I have decided to chose a scene from the dis-equilibrium part of the narrative. In the sequence Anna is walking down a dark path on her way home from work when she feels as if someone is watching her. She hears noises all around her and doesn't see the dark figure behind her but the audience do. She then continues to walk home and starts to walk faster as noises seem to get louder and closer, all the while the audience keep seeing the dark figure getting closer and closer to her. She finally reaches the house and gets inside, knowing there shouldn't be anyone in but when she locks the door, she hears noises upstairs. She goes up to look and doesn't see anything but then hears someone walking up the stairs so she hides in a cupboard with only a small hole to see through (which is all the audience can see through). She sees the dark figure walk up the stairs and walk past the room she is in and straight into the room next to it. She comes out of the cupboard and sneaks down the stairs all the while the dark figure is in the background staring at her when she doesn't know. She runs to the door and tries to open it but drops the keys, causing a loud noise. Then she looks up at the ceiling and hears a loud panting and grunting getting louder and louder before a loud deep scream form upstairs. She picks up the keys and frantically tries to open the door while the audience can hear a loud banging as someone comes down the stairs and bursts into the room behind her. She opens the door, slamming it behind her and locking it but the dark figure just stands there at the back of the room staring at her as she runs away. That is when the sequence ends.

I have chosen this sequence because it is the fist time when Anna realizes that the dark figure she is seeing is real and that it can get to. This is what triggers her intent to try and find out what happened to Cole. I also chose it because it would allow for more creative cinematography and editing to enhance the far and other emotions. For example when the dark figure is shown the camera could dolly-zoom and tilt to give a sense of madness and that he is getting closer to her.
